BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Timing of almond intake during a day may result differently in the perspectives of body composition and changes of lipid profile. The current study was conducted to compare the effects of daily almond intake as a preload versus as a snack on body composition, blood lipid profile, and oxidative and inflammation indicators among young Korean adults aged 20-39 years old. SU...

A life cycle assessment was performed to compare the sustainability of gasification and fast pyrolysis processes for producing bio-oil using agricultural wastes from biomass. The objective carry out environmental analysis associated with production 1 MJ different biomasses both thermochemical determine which process is more respectful environment. revealed that detrimental environment all under...

Abstract Tree bark is normally a side-stream product but by an integrated biorefinery approach, valuable compounds may be recovered and used to replace fossil-based products. Norway spruce was extracted obtain cellulose, which chemically treated produce cellulose oxalate (COX) homogenized yield nanocellulose. The nanocellulose Pickering emulsions with almond oil hexadecane as organic phases. CO...

Almond and sweet cherry are two economically important species of the Prunus genus. They both produce the cyanogenic glucosides prunasin and amygdalin. As part of a two-component defense system, prunasin and amygdalin release toxic hydrogen cyanide upon cell disruption. In this study, we investigated the potential role within prunasin and amygdalin and some of its derivatives in endodormancy re...

Introduction: The cerebellum has been linked to multiple functions, such as motor control, cognition, memory, and emotional processing. As for its involvement in the sensory systems, the role of the cerebellum in the sense of smell remains unclear. We suggest that sexually naive male rats will present increased neuronal activity in the cerebellar vermis after being stimulated with almond odour ...

The effects of almond consumption on DNA damage and oxidative stress among cigarette smokers were studied. Thirty healthy adult male regular smokers were randomly divided into three groups, 10 subjects per group. Group A (control group) did not receive any almonds. Subjects in Groups B and C received 3 oz and 6 oz (84 g and 168 g) of almonds each day respectively for 4 wk. Two known biomarkers ...

In the present investigation, three different solid wastes namely almond green hull, eggplant hull, and moss were initially treated and used as adsorbents for the adsorption of strontium ion from aqueous solutions. Adsorbent types and chemical treatments are proved to have effective roles on the adsorption of Sr(II) ion. Among the three adsorbents, almond green hull demonstrated strong affinity...

Genetic diversity of 50 Tunisian almond (Prunus dulcis Mill.) genotypes and their relationships to European and American cultivars were studied. In total 82 genotypes were analyzed using ten genomic SSRs. A total of 159 alleles were scored and their sizes ranged from 116 to 227 bp. The number of alleles per locus varied from 12 to 23 with an average of 15.9 alleles per locus. Mean expected and ...

The purpose of this research was to produce cocoa butter equivalent from the blend of mango seed almond fat (MAF) from “Keaw” variety mango kernels and palm oil mid-fraction (POMF). Seven MAF-POMF blends with different proportions (100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50 and 0/100 (%wt) of MAF to POMF) including cocoa butter were characterized using various techniques. Fatty acid composition w...
